90693. EUCALYPTUS DEALEATA. From New South Wales, Australia. Presented by the 

 Director, Botanic Gardens, Sydney. A small stunted tree with rugose bark separating 

 in scales, leaving the inner bark white and smooth. The glaucous ovate leaves are 

 4 inches long, and the clusters of 3 to 6 flowers are followed by hemispherical fruits 

 about a quarter of an inch in diameter. At Chico, California, trees of this species 

 36 feet high were severely injured at a minimum temperature of 12° F. For trial in 

 the warmer parts of California and the Gulf region. (Chico, Calif.) '""" 



123771. EUCALYPTUS DIVERSICOLOR . From Australia. Presented by F. H. Baker, Rich- 

 mond, Victoria. A tall tree, up to 350 feet in height, native to western Australia. 

 It is straight in habit and a fairly rapid grower. The very dense and elastic wood 

 is considered superior timber, being used by wheelwrights and for shipbuilding. In 

 Florida the tree is said to do best near the coast, in noncalcareous soils. It is 

 somewhat frost resistant, but it does not endure dry heat. At Chico, California, 

 trees of this species, 13 feet high, were killed at a minimum temperature of 12° F. 

 For trial near the coast in southern California and in the milder parts of central 

 and southern Florida. (Chico, Calif.) 



90694. EUCALYPTUS EXSERTA . From Australia. Presented by G. P. Darnell-Smith, 

 Director, Botanic Gardens, Sydney, New South Wales. A medium-sized tree with rough 

 fissured ash-brown bark, sword-shaped leaves 3 to 6 inches long, axillary clusters of 

 3 to 8 flowers on long pedicels, and nearly globular fruits one-third of an inch in 

 diameter. At Chico, California, trees of this species, 26 feet high, were severely 

 injured at a minimum temperature of 12° F. For trial in the warmest parts of the 

 Southwest and of the Gulf coast. (Chico, Calif.) 



77610. EUCALYPTUS LONGIROSTRIS. * Creek gum. From Richmond, Australia. Presented 

 by F. H. Baker. A tall Australian tree up to 200 feet high, with smooth dark-gray 

 bark, narrowly lanceolate leaves 6 inches or more long, stalked umbels of small 

 flowers attractive to bees, and globular fruits with conical tops. The heavy red wood 

 is durable both above and below ground and is used for railroad ties, piles, and fence 

 posts. At Chico, California, trees of this species 22 to 28 feet high, suffered 

 only slight injury in a minimum temperature of 12° F. For trial in the Gulf States 

 and California. (Chico, Calif.) 



90701. EUCALYPTUS NUMEROSA. From New South Wales, Australia. Presented by the 

 Director, Botanic Gardens, Sydney. A large tree up to 150 feet high and 3 feet in 

 diameter, with fibrous bark, thin lanceolate leaves 4 to 7 inches long, flov/ers in 

 dense umbels of 20 to 40, and pear-shaped fruits less than a quarter of an inch long. 

 It is native to Australia. At Chico, California, trees of this species, 19 feet high, 

 were only slightly injured at a minimum temperature of 12° F. For trial in the 

 warmer parts of California and the Gulf region. (Chico, Calif.) 



62418. EUONYMUS BUNGEANUS . (Celastraceae . ) From China. Collected at Peiping by 

 P. K. Dorsett, Bureau of Plant Industry. A handsome slender-branched Chinese shrub

 pinkish seeds with orange arils persisting well into the winter. Probably hardy in
